I am not quite sure what this blog is to be about so I’ll write about the book, Three Cups of Tea.  Believe it or not, I finished the book weeks ago and don’t fully remember it all but what I can say is that while reading it, I couldn’t finish it fast enough.  It held my interest and I found it helpful in putting into place the events that happened. It clarified Russia’s involvement and also spelled out the player in the region.  What I found interesting was the politics of everything, even in the small villages that were vying for the schools.  I envy him for having such passion about doing something in these countries and trying to help educate the children, especially the girls.  The struggles, the patience needed, and just the environment he worked in are things I know I would never have been able to deal with.
